Ogboru doubts INEC’s readiness for elections

Delta State Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate, Chief Great Ogboru has expressed doubts about the preparedness of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct credible elections.

The LP candidate urged INEC to conduct a test run of the card readers to determine their reliability.

He said this would forestall likely malfunctioning of the machines.

Ogboru noted that INEC might have simulated the machines in its offices with the card readers, adding that this is not adequate.

He said: “I am not saying INEC has not done the simulations with these machines in the office. But that is not enough. The type of simulation that is required in this circumstance, in our view, is that it must be done under election condition.”
